<p>For other people like me wondering about this, it’s because not every question needs a specific topic, asking is fine at first, moving to a separate topic when it becomes long/complicated</p>

<p>I will personally recommend you don't do that -- I think Zulip works best with dedicated topics as much as possible, even if you split off sometimes.</p>

<p>People expressed concerns with having too many topics on discord and there is a precedent in <a class="stream" data-stream-id="247081" href="/#narrow/stream/247081-t-compiler.2Fperformance">#t-compiler/performance</a> from what I read</p>

<p>the way Zulip topics are meant to be used have the consequence that inactive topics will be hidden. Active topic jump up to the top of the topics list.<br>
So I'm not sure we can have a "sticking" topic always visibile. I understand that for people coming from Slack/Discord this can sound confusing</p>

<p>also <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="232545">@Joshua Nelson</span> we have a <code>#rustdoc</code> stream and I notice there are a lot of other streams under <code>#t-lang/*</code> <code>#t-compiler/*</code> and so on. It's cool because  the rustdoc stream stays at the top :) but I wonder if it should stay under a ... "namespace"</p>
